romney appears to have made some gains according to one gallup poll which the obama campaign is pushing back on. our own polling showing that the lead is not so great, that the president still leads with women in swing states. it's a key voting group certainly for him and romney needs to make up ground on that according to these polls. so when you look at that, why then didn't these issues of women's issues, why aren't they brought up in the earlier parts of vice presidential debate and it was not brought up at all in the first presidential debate. >> whether or not it's brought up in a debate, the important thing is that president obama has stood for and defended a woman's right to choose. and mitt romney quite honestly has called for the overturning of roe vs. wade. and that is more extreme than george w. wubush. so when we think about the possibility of a supreme court vacancy, it's critical who sits in the oval office and who could ultimately make that decision and the court having a real say whether or not roe vs. wade is overturned. >> so you're fine if it's not brought up in toni

the numbers in the new nbc poll are simply awful for romney. can you do anything in five weeks to negate their impact? >> you know, they have broken through -- >> oh, thank you. >> they've broken through. you know, this was a point in 2008 when something similar happened with john mccain. he couldn't recall in an interview how many houses or properties he owned. that became a sort of explaining narrative for all sorts of reasons why, and this may sound familiar, why he seemed out of touch. this 47% video resonated to a greater degree than john mccain not remembering how many homes he owned. so, if you have failed at this point to explain who you are, if you have another version of that story out there, you cannot undo it in one debate. you can try and engage with people directly to camera, but mitt romney is also going to want to land some punches. that's going to take time away from his job, number one, which should be telling people, for once, who he really is. >> i think that may be intentional. john, this is how romney's running mate paul r
